@pride49 You know that episode when Bandit and bluey get faces painted on their back to keep them from swooping?

I never saw a magpie up close and personal like, until we visited Calgary this year, and they are beautiful...but fairly aggressive birds, and the locals dont seem to be as intrigued by them as we were 😂

@MoodysGoose that have a beautiful song early in the morning... Rather magical i think
MoodysGoose · 51-55, M

The house on the corner has had 12+ Magpies hanging around. They're nesting in the tree in the backyard 😟

@Thevy29 And they wont bother the home owners. They belong there. Its passers by they will swoop.. The little sods are quite intelligent.😷

Great picture! Feed them and make friends so at least your ok in your back yard.

Problem solved:

@whowasthatmaskedman Unfortunately they're both endangered.

@whowasthatmaskedman I might have gone with lawyers instead of children, but probably just because Dick Cheney has been back in the news recently 😂
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Zaphod42 While I see where you ar coming from here, I am one of those who believes that lawyers will make good mulch someday. There might be a few trying to do good out there. (Its theoretically possible) But the system they serve is the law, not justice. So they wont be missed..😷

@Convivial awesome me to what part of Australia are you from
Time to tuck my ears under my propeller hat !

I heard magpies sing to you
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Ferric67 Its more like a yodel. But the ones we feed have a few calls to call their family members or each bird has theor own tune phrase to identify it . We get that once they have eaten. 😷

Damn those magpies.🤣
Convivial · 26-30, F
@GunFinger noooo, i love them... Beautiful songs 🤗

We feed the local family. (Have done for years.) Our place is swoop proof.. The young thrive on cheap minced beef and the parents bring them along as soon as they can fly.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman i was just reading an article which said the same things.. You can befriend them.. Great that you have, enjoy their song
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Convivial My wife goes out and talks to them. I am guessing its close to egg laying time so we will only see one and a time for a while.. Then they will start making return trips every couple of minutes with full beaks and come back empty..😷
Convivial · 26-30, F
@whowasthatmaskedman great that you have that relationship with them
😆 I'd have treats on me and make friends.
I fear for my life. Daily

We have magpies here as well. Kind of crafty mean birds
